(Funny thread tittle right? Ha.. No? )

We've all seen the annoying comercial: "Head on, apply directly to the forehead. x10." Has anyone here ever used Head On and if so, does Head On actually work? Anyone also know how it "works"?

Headon contains a know carcinogen (cancer causing chemical) potassium dichromate.

A quick google search says the product is almost entirely wax with White Bryony (whatever that is) being the active ingredient. Some menthol is mixed in. potassium dichromate doesn't sound too good.

They want the pain of the Head On to camouflage the pain of the headache.

oh wow, that commercial is painful to experience. Whenever it comes on I physically cringe and to my wife's credit she puts up with my complaining about it (each and every time *grin*). My instincts kicked in immediately that the product is obviously a scam - why else would you need such repetitive and annoying advertising? The idea that something put on your forehead would mysteriously relieve any problem at all other than forehead acne is so ridiculous I feel that commercial's existence proves just out of hand advertising has gotten.

It's a big joke in my family. We have a game of making up their new " ... on" products.

But ... as someone who has horrible ocular migraines (daily), sometimes I need something that will relax the muscles in my forehead. "Head on" is as effective as, say, putting on a heat pack or rubbing "Ben Gay" (which always seems tempting, but I just never have any handy). I'm not claiming it's a miracle product, but it helps a little bit and doesn't hurt.

One of the most widely used medications in Asia and in Asian communities worldwide is Tiger Balm. It comes in a little round tin and you put a bit on your finger and "apply directly to the forehead". It cures most everything.
